A former escort linked to Wayne Rooney fears she has cancer after using sunbeds three times a day in a bid to get her self-esteem back.

Jenny Thompson claims after revelations over her private life hit the headlines she felt depressed and started using tanning beds up to three times a day and having injections to become darker.

The 22-year-old now has a growth on her left cheek and is terrified it could be cancerous.

She said: 'When I watched the interview back, I just hated the way I looked, it shattered my confidence.

'It was the last straw. I decided I was going to make an effort to make myself look good and not look like the slapper I was portrayed to be.'

The former escort, who also models, started visiting the tanning salon multiple tiomes a day and spent thousands on exotic holidays.
